Timing cover

86 removing timing cover. 13mm x 10 bolts. Bottom two are longer.
Bolts laid out
Beneath cover
Cleaned up cover. Notice variable pressure control solenoid.
87 oil pump. 4x13mm bolts and slide off.
Warning!! If you plan to reuse your existing pump you are supposed to use alignment tools. I’ve heard a lot of bad stories with pumps so I’m putting on a katech pump.

88 lining up timing marks. Turn crank until it is dot to dot. This is a good time to lay condensor down diagonally so you can see and pull cam in a bit.
This is a what not to do scenario. Upon reassembly if your off a toothe it will be pretty obvious when you look straight in like this. I’ll admit I looked at it a lot. Taking pics and drawing lines does help.
Correct lines as stated. When you take a squared photo, (holding your phone perpendicular to ground). You can see how the line appears to run through cam bolt and crank bolt as well as through arrow and dot. Remove camshaft actuator bolt. This will not be reused for reassemble but is handy for checking things.
Phaser in all its glory. Add safety bolt before proceeding to limiter or lockout kit.
